In this episode, Stacey is joined by Elgin Browning, who has worked in the fire and safety industry for decades and is currently the Fire Chief and Lead Instructor for Industrial Rescue Instruction Systems.

Stacey and Elgin discuss: 

* How some companies are good at identifying their key safety people, yet often don’t get around to identifying their backups. 

* The problems that might arise if there’s a safety event that lasts a few days, and your “A” team has to take a break, yet your company doesn’t have a “B” team (backup team) ready to step up. 

* Elgin’s recommendations for ensuring that safety professionals always identify their backup safety teams.
